HitLights 24 Watt (2 Amp) LED Power Supply 110V AC to 12V DC Transformer UL-Listed Lighting Power Adapter for LED Strip Lights and Other Low Voltage Devices

Worked great with RF Controller for COB light strip. It would power the whole 16' strip, but I only used 3' for my use. the plug was compatible with both the HILIGHTS Single color RF Remote (DC 5-24V) and the DTF -LIGHTING 12V FCOB strip light. Would buy again.

This power supply interfaces very well with the Hitlights 300 Led lighting strip which I also purchased in the same order. The project that I am working on is still being built (stained glass stands each of which support a glass paperweight which we created and now want to illuminate and display), so i have not installed it in its final configuration. Currently, after cutting, and resoldering the LED strip (transforming them from one long string into a group of 5 x 3 matrices), I use this power supply to test my design and solder joints. Later on - I will use it to power the lights on the display. So far It has been dependable, handling the load well with no flickering. I will get back to you when I have used it for a month or so in its final configuration.

I ordered HitLights Warm White SMD3528 LED Light Strip - 300 LEDs, 16.4 Ft Roll, Cut to length - 3000K, 82 Lumens / 1.5 Watts per foot, Requires 12V DC . When reading the description, it mentioned that you needed a 24 watt AC->DC adapter to power the LED strip. Since I didn't have one laying around, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a good one in a timely manner. Well, lo and behold, HitLights, the same manufacturer that makes the light strip manufactures this adapter too. Because of that, I knew I'd have 100% compatibility. Great adapter!

I bought this particular power supply as it is recommended for the HitLights LED strip lights that I use. The angle of the wall bud can block the neighboring outlet so I have to say that not the greatest amount of thought was put into that. You can just move it to the lower wall socket or to the very end of the plug strip but for the plug strip application, this means you can only have one of these per plug strip without losing a socket. The power supply is correctly rated for the lighting however and works great. The wiring is robust and the connector fits snug. So all other design criteria are very well met. I will buy more of these as I like the simplicity and I am slowly phasing in LED light strips all over my house.

Do you hate how dark it is inside your hall closet? I did, and I solved the problem by installing a Hitlights LS3528_WW_WP warm white LED strip all around the inside of the door frame, with this "transformer" plugged into the handy duplex outlet provided in the closet for the doorbell. (For technical folk: I put "transformer" in quotes because it's not really a transformer -- it's a universal-input, switching-type AC-DC power supply.) Yes, it does get warmer than I'd like in continuous operation, but I intended to use a door switch to turn the lights on only for the brief periods when the closet door is open. For safety and code-compliance reasons, I preferred not to switch the AC power to the transformer, so I had to evaluate the behavior of the transformer with the door switch in series with the low-voltage output. I plugged it into my Kill-a-Watt (get one, you'll love it) and was pleased to discover that with the output disconnected the transformer draws essentially zero power, so obviously it stays dead cool. The output voltage remained stable as I switched the LEDs on and off, and I concluded that switching the output was practical. I used an automotive-grade microswitch (similar to asin B0029N2S88) because of its high current rating at low voltage. I expect that the lower-cost item identified by another reviewer(asin B007TGO3HO) would behave similarly, but I have not tested it. A suggestion to Hitlights: Market a packaged adhesive-mount door switch, with matching barrel connectors, for cabinets, closets, safes, etc.!

Purchased this to power 2/3'rds of a 18 Watt strand of 300 LED's and it was located in an enclosed area so it got slightly warm to the touch. After a while the lights would power-cycle, which is good, it didn't self destruct. I then moved the adapter to a less confined space powering a lower wattage strand (approximately 10 Watts) and it works great. Ended up buy a 48 Watt version for the original application but I would buy this again for lower wattage applications.

It was the most inexpensive one I could find, and for that it works. I'm using it to power a 16' RGB LED light strip in my bedroom. I had heard stories about these getting very hot with the LEDs, so for the first few hours of use I periodically checked it with my hand. It did get very hot after about an hour or so and I was worried, however another hour or so and it cooled back down to room temperature. It may have just been a matter of "breaking it in" if something like that makes sense (maybe someone w/ more background in electrical equipment could comment) but it hasn't gotten hot like that since. So all in all a good purchase, for peace of mind maybe investing a couple more dollars in a nicer one would be worth it.

This worked GREAT, as I used to power-up strip lights installed to illuminate the inside of my gun safe. Not sure why others have complained, but I prefer this power adapter (i.e., transformer) over others reviewed, because this powers-up my lights instantly, as soon as switched-on vs. other power adapters that apparently pause a second or two to light-up after being switched-on. Buyers should be aware that this power adapter should only be applied to strip lights that do not exceed 16’ (metric = 5 meters) in length.

Ya llevo usándolo como un año y me a funcionado sin problemas, lo utilizo para mi recámara.
